Circles St. GeorgePeople in poverty need to be in charge of their own lives. In our model they are known as Circle Leaders and over the course of their involvement in Circles, each Leader takes an increasingly active role in leading their Circle and giving back to the community. A Circle is a supportive, intentional, reciprocal, befriending relationship made up of one Circle Leader who is a person living in poverty and two to three Circle Allies who are volunteers willing to build supportive relationships that help people achieve their goals. Allies join Circle Leaders in advocating for removing community barriers for people who are working to move out of poverty.

THE FACE OF HOMELESSNESS IN UTAH - Why Homelessness Matters

Homelessness exposes individuals and families to traumatic events which often aggravates their current circumstances. Homelessness challenges the ability to access needed resources and regain self-sufficiency. Children are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of homelessness. Homelessness often interrupts schooling and the development of positive peer and mentoring relationships. Homeless children frequently experience dangerous or unhealthy environments and may be more likely to experience homelessness as an adult. Communities also feel the impact of homelessness.

A train naturally follows the path of a railroad track, but one simple device is used to redirect them when needed. This mechanism is crucial for efficiently getting trains to their intended destinations, a feat nearly impossible otherwise. The name of this device is a switch point.
